What you found sure upset you
|
Never saw it coming did you?
|
It's easy to be surprised
|
With both your eyes sewn closed
|
Handled with great precision
|
Another faultless execution
|
You're the subject of this exhibition
|
A willing cadaver, a willing cadaver
|
|
Scalpel, sutured, made whole again
|
|
These cuts are leaving creases
|
Trace the scars, fit the pieces
|
To tell your story, you don't need to say a word
|
|
Call off the cavalry
|
You can't save a wretch like me
|
Clean this with kerosene
|
If you can't leave it be, might as well make it bleed
|
|
Scalpel, sutured, made whole again
|
|
Your wires are frayed, can't fire right
|
You look better when out of sight
|
You were not made to stand and fight
|
There's something better wrong with you
|
(X2)
|
|
Your pulse is anemic, you're tired of the fire
|
You're bruising too easy, and falling behind
|
And no one is waiting for you (X4)
|
For you (X2)
|
|
Call off your quarantine
|
can't save the rest from me
|
Clean this with kerosene
|
If you can't leave it be, might as well make it bleed
|
|
Scalpel, sutured, made whole again
|
again (X8)
|
|
Your wires are frayed, can't fire right
|
You look better when out of sight
|
You were not made to stand and fight
|
There's something better wrong with you
|
(X2)
